Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney doubled down on his country’s provincial bans on U.S. liquor during a press conference Tuesday, saying the bans are in place because of the “irritant” of U.S. tariffs.

In retaliation for U.S. tariffs on its hallmark exports, several of Canada‘s provinces have imposed bans on U.S.-imported alcohol. Carney told reporters that these bans could be resolved “quickly” if the country makes progress in trade talks with its southern neighbor, if the United States reverses course on tariffs it imposed on key Canadian industries such as steel and lumber.
